Dr. Chen Talks About Teeth and Oral Cavity: It's a Misconception that dental scaling and rooting planing are Ineffective in Treating Periodontal Disease!
2021-06-11
[In the dental X-ray image, you can see the 11-year-old Pomeranian case from our hospital. Dr. Chung-Wei Chen only used dental scaling and root planing procedure to thoroughly remove calculus, with no flap surgery or bone graft or collagen used, and within two years, the alveolar bone increased by 1.59mm.]
 

[Dr. Chen Talks About Teeth and Oral Cavity: It's a Misconception that dental scaling and rooting planing are Ineffective in Treating Periodontal Disease!]

Everyone knows that both in dogs, cats, and humans, treating periodontal disease is essential, but what does periodontal treatment include? Is periodontal surgery necessary? Complete periodontal treatment includes the following:

[Scaling and Root Planing]:Using an ultrasonic scaler tips and curette, thoroughly clean all calculus and plaque, including tooth surfaces, periodontal pockets, and root surfaces. It's crucial to remove them completely, especially making the roots smooth to prevent the accumulation of new calculus and plaque. This is also the treatment option recommended by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) for periodontal disease patients.。
※ Good cleaning is the foundation of all periodontal treatments. As long as you can maintain cleanliness, there is a chance of regeneration for both gingiva and alveolar bone, even without periodontal surgery. On the other hand, if you do not thoroughly clean the periodontal tissue, no matter what kind of periodontal surgery you perform, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the tissue may not regenerate.



[Periodontal Surgery]: When the treatment results of scaling and root planing are not satisfactory or if you want a better periodontal regeneration effect, surgical methods can be used to fill the lost periodontal tissue. This includes procedures such as periodontal flap surgery, free gingival graft (FGG), connective tissue graft (CTG), guided tissue regeneration (GTR), guided bone regeneration (GBR), etc., to restore the original height of the gingiva or alveolar bone, and increase root coverage.
※ All periodontal surgeries must be combined with good dental scaling and root planing to ensure a good treatment effect.


[Supportive Therapy]:This includes the use of dental lasers, antibacterial gels, antibiotic ointments, etc., to aid in wound cleansing and infection control. However, it serves as a complementary treatment and cannot replace the treatment methods mentioned in points 1 and 2.

#The belief that GTR is the only treatment for periodontal disease is a misconception.
#Please do not be misled by incorrect information.
#Serious tooth brushing and regular dental scaling are cost-effective ways to maintain oral health.
